Beyond the Baby Registry: How to Prepare for the Transition to Motherhood with Nina Spears, The Baby Chick
Are you preparing for a baby—or preparing to become a mother?
So many expecting moms spend months researching baby gear, creating registries, and planning for birth. But one of the biggest transitions often gets overlooked: the transition into motherhood itself.
In this episode, I’m joined by Nina Spears, founder and CEO of Baby Chick®, certified baby planner, birth and postpartum doula, childbirth educator, and author of The Baby Chick Guide to Positive Pregnancy.
After supporting more than 800 families in person and thousands more virtually, Nina has seen firsthand how many women prepare extensively for their baby's arrival but feel unprepared for the emotional, physical, and identity shifts that come with becoming a mom.
In our conversation, Nina shares practical ways to prepare for pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and motherhood so you can feel more confident, supported, and equipped for this life-changing season.
Inside this episode, you'll learn:
Why preparing for motherhood is just as important as preparing for baby
The biggest surprises many women experience after becoming a mom
How to prepare mentally, emotionally, and physically for postpartum
The identity shift that often accompanies motherhood
Building a support system before your baby arrives
Common misconceptions about pregnancy, birth, and postpartum
Ways partners can prepare for the transition into parenthood
How to create a more positive pregnancy and postpartum experience
Whether you're expecting your first baby or supporting someone who is, this episode offers encouragement, practical wisdom, and reminders that you don't have to navigate motherhood alone.
